Lilly Singh reaches her late-night rite of passage: Apologizing for a joke
Photo: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for UNICEF USA A hearty congrats are in order to Lilly Singh, who, two weeks into her new NBC late-night show A Little Late With Lilly Singh, finally gets to apologize for a joke that has been collectively declared bad by viewers.
“In a recent episode of my show, I stupidly made a comparison about turbans that I’d like to apologize for,” she wrote. “In the moment, my thought process was ‘don’t be embarrassed! I think that’s dope.’ But in hindsight I recognize that was a disrespectful and problematic joke to make that has a lot of painful history behind it. And I’m very sorry.”
A Little Late With Lilly Singh replaced Carson Daly’s long-running show on the network, Last Call, after nearly two decades. If you happen to be up at 1:30 in the morning, give it a try.
